Everything I Ever Needed to Know...

... I learned at campfire? It sure seems like it when you read through the lyrics of some of my favourite songs. There's nothing like a good song to teach you a life lesson, eh?

All My Life’s a Circle

All my life’s a circle, sunrise and sundownThe moon rolls through the night timeTill the day break comes aroundAll my life’s a circle, but I can’t tell you whyThe seasons spinning round againThe years keep rolling by.

It seems like I’ve been here before, I can’t remember whenBut I got this funny feelingThat we’ll all be back againThere’s no straight lines that make up my lifeAnd all my roads have bendsThere’s no clear cut beginnings, and so far no dead ends.

I’ve found you a thousand times, I guess you’ve done the sameBut then we’ll lose each otherIt’s just like children’s gamesAs I see you here again, the thought runs through my mindOur friendships like a circle,Let’s go round one more time.

Linger

Mm, mm, I’d like to linger

Mm, mm, a little longerMm, mm, a little longer here with youMm, mm, its such a perfect nightMm, mm, it doesn’t seem quite rightMm, mm, that it should be my last with youMm, mm, and come December

Mm, mm, I will rememberMm, mm, our campfire bright and friendships trueMm, mm, and as the years go byMm, mm, I’ll think you you and sighMm, mm, this is goodnight and not goodbye

Frog Kissin'

Do you remember in the fairy tale, how the wicked witches spellTurned the handsome prince to a toad?By the power of a potion, she handed him the notionHe was lower than the dirt in the road.And though she left him green and warted, her evil plans were thwartedTheir chanced to happen by a young missWho inspite of his complexion, offered him affectionAnd broke the wicked curse with her kiss

So if you've never been frog kissingThen you don't know what you've been missin',There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log.And if you've never been charm-breakin',Then you've never been handsome prince makin'.You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,Kiss you a frog!

Once upon a time ago, I was down and feelin' lowLike a lonely frog in a pondMy life was just a joke, and I was just about to croakCuz I'd be zapped by life's wicked wand.But in the depths of my depression, there came a true expressionOf love from a person so sweet.She gave me warm fuzzy feelings, feelings that were healin'And she knocked me off my little webbed feet.
There's a happy-ever-after-land, deep in the heart of manWhere a prince and princess abides.But all we get are glimpses, of the happy prince or princess'Cauce they're covered with a green warty hide.Though they're full of life's potential, they're lacking one essentialTo enable them to shine like a star.That's a handsome guy or missus, to smother them with kissesAnd love them just the way that they are.

That's the secret of frog kissing
You can do it too if you'll just listen
There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log.
That's the secret of charm-breakin',
That's the secret of handsome prince makin'.
You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
Kiss you a...
You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
Kiss you a...
You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down,
Kiss you a frog!
